    @Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich. Now I know that I can share the link with Fredo6 on the Animator thread so he can download the file and look at it (to hopefully identify the problem I have been having trying to generate a video). You might also try generating an Animator video and see what results you get.

    Hey guys I am desperate for very high resolution/quality satellite maps, I use Placemaker and I also use Nearmap but the resolution is not that great, I have tried using AI to upscale but that too does not really solve my issues. Is there another solution?

    Hey Mike, I'm sure you figured this out already, but when you first create the attribute type a number with the inch mark like 0" or 0' in the value box and hit enter. This will set the unit for that attribute to inches. This only works for the first time a value is entered. After that first initial value, you will need to use the attribute info dialog to make changes. In addition, you can use 0 to set it to text (not "Default: Text") and 0cm to set it to centimeters. If anyone knows a shortcut for setting the unit to Decimal Number, I would love to hear it!

    After a reboot to try to get Vista to stop telling me I needed V8 to open a file which had been saved with V8, and ignoring my repeated instructions in various places to open SU file with V8, my toolbars are docked where I last left them. SU windows (managers and such) remain uncontrollable.

    Yes, with a tree image the transparency is a feature, but if the image is person or solid object, then there's a problem. The lines in the distance show through that person when transparency is enabled. Or the background blocks the styles, if transparency is disabled. - Joel

    I have 2 systems. Both are WinXP, and have SU 7 and 8. One will animate, and the other crashes to the desktop as soon as the progress bar comes up. SU8WinCrash_090210_191609.zip

    Yes i mean 3d max connection extension included in v2011 but when importing it destroys the SU structure. It takes only into account the bottom level component in case of nested components. That is the big issue.

    You should try with Curviloft´s skin. Look at the attachment to see how I make it work for your model. Daniel S twoarcs2.skp

    Thank you for your help again my friend, I really have an annoying issue here. @honoluludesktop said: ???? Maybe you need to rerun the SU8 install program as repair. Where are your component folders? My three (see the first image) are in: C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Components I also pointed the "Window > Preferences > Files > Models" to the component folder. I tried pointing those preference files - re-booted- no change. This is my 3rd install of SU8, and in one of the installs, the component box had some files that were saved in the SU7 folder. I am on re-install #2 with no luck. Everything is in the correct folder. Btw: I wasn't able to run your video, what do I need on my side to do so? The video was made with Jing, a free capture program for stills and video. The pro version is $14/year and lets you save in MP4 as well as the default SWF. The forum won't allow MP4's so it is SWF. thanks again. Hope your animation problem gets worked out

    I know that problem that SketchUp "forgets" hidden/smoothed edges. It's annoying. Unfortunately I don't know a fix. It happened to me only in huge models and I decided to correct it only when it was absolutely finished. It also happens to the exported version to Kerkythea. Especially evil if you rely on the "wireframe" procedural (that shouldn't show on smoothed edges).

    It is possible to set the grid frequency much higher. In other words, select 2' x 2' or the equivalent metric, rather than 10' grid. And- without having used Sandbox in a while- can you not select the radius of influence or the inference points to fine tune the effect?
